The \var{epilogue} attribute acts the same way as the \var{preamble}

+One note: when generating the flat text for a \mimetype{multipart}
+message that has no \var{epilogue} (using the standard
+\class{Generator} class), no newline is added after the closing

+newline get printed after your closing \mimetype{multipart} boundary,
+set the \var{epilogue} to the empty string.
